Novelties from the Society's Garden. Chysis bracte- 

 scens, and two Tropaeolums — tricolorum and brachyceras — 

 so managed as to have the appearance of a bush. This loose 

 and natural habit is obtained by placing the top of a young 

 Larch tree, with the rough lateral twigs attached, close to 

 the bulbs before they spring, and leading the young shoot 

 to this stake, round which it continues to twine, until the 

 whole support is closely covered with foliage and flowers, 

 presenting an exceedingly graceful appearance, and entirely 

 dispensing with the trouble of training and tying.
